Raining today…

… but that’s ok, because I dried my first load of washing outside this year yesterday; one more piece of evidence to support my theory that yesterday was the REAL first day of spring.
I’m glad for the rain; I slept better last night than I have in ages, which is always the case when it rains. I love the sound on the roof and it soothes and cossets me. It is a bit of a drag walking to the car but that’s the only downside.
I cancelled my private healthcare last night - freeing, and virtuous as it saves me £50 a month! That’s Mouse’s nursery lunches paid for. And really, apart from protecting myself against some future half-expected medical tragedy, I can’t see the point of insurance. We have a perfectly adequate free healthcare system in this country. And my life is extremely well insured so if I die (morbidly put) the mortgage gets paid off and there’s a lump sum in it for the survivors. So here’s to not wasting money on inconsequentialities.
I love it when it rains. Rain just brings up so many good memories for me!
I think of when my son was about 4 and he and a friend were out in the rain for over an hour picking up worms and putting them in an ice cream bucket. They must have had over a hundred. They were so happy!
It rained when we went to Disneyland three years ago. We just bought some plastic ponchos and kept on going. We still talk about how much fun it was and how soaked we got.
Worms in a bucket - sounds like England, lol!
I had the most magical kiss of my life in the rain, and I still remember it vividly. Rain is a Good Thing.
Worms in a bucket, though, you can keep!
Yes, I feel the same about worms in a bucket. Urg!
